18 Ideas for a Beetlejuice-Inspired Halloween Party

Tim Burton is well known for his spooky, quirky and oddly charming stories. From Edward Scissorhands to Corpse Bride, his flicks will always hold a special place in our hearts. So when we heard that Beetlejuice 2 is *actually* happening (see video proof here), it got us extra excited for Halloween this year. Check out the inspiration below to give your house a hauntingly stylish makeover with Beetlejuice’s classic stripes and a few scary accents inspired by other Tim Burton creations.

1. Spooky Table Setting: Shrimp hands or crab legs? Both sound pretty perfect for a Beetlejuice-themed dinner party, especially when served on a black and white tablecloth. (via My Domaine)

2. Black Pumpkins: All you need is some matte black paint to create these dark and mysterious pumpkins. Pick up some artificial pumpkins, because you will definitely want to keep these guys around for next year. (via Sweet Paul)

4. Beetlejuice Pop Art ($25): Jazz up your gallery wall with some Beetlejuice art. These hand-painted pieces of art are almost too cool to put away after the 31st. No judgement if you decide to keep them up for the entire year.

6. Cute Ghosts: Channel your inner Tim Burton and make these ghosts with sunken eyes and little stitched faces. They have little stands so you can make a group of them to set up on the table or just hang them from the ceiling. (via My So Called Crafty Life)

7. Beetlejuice Terrarium ($195): Now you can fit the whole Beetlejuice set right into your home. Everything from the moss to the placement of the trees is accurate to the movie and the details will make you feel like you’ve fallen right into the storyline.

9. Harry the Hunter: There’s nothing like a life-sized prop to get any Halloween party going. This replica of the infamous shrunken head man is as easy as stuffing clothes and knitting (free pattern here!) a mini head. (via Ravelry)

10. DIY Branch Centerpiece: Even though Halloween almost surpasses Christmas in the amount of money spent on decor, it doesn’t have to be an expensive affair to look suitably spooky. Spray paint some branches from the yard to make a haunting, dead-ish tablescape. (via Homedit)

11. Throw Pillows ($20): Get your living room looking suitably scary with some throw pillows featuring the man of the hour. Maybe just don’t cuddle up to him while watching a scary movie, okay?
